Obituary of Carol J. Harris
Greenville – Carol J. Harris, 80, wife of the late Harold “Gus” Harris, passed away November 20, 2021, at her home after a brief illness. She was born June 23, 1941, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the daughter of Henry and Virginia (Markewicz) Jouve. Carol grew up in Revere, MA. After high school, she was a working girl in the city of Boston when she met Gus while he was studying pharmacy there. In 1963, they were married and moved to Gus’ hometown of Greenville. She dedicated herself to raising a family, homemaking and standing with Gus as he worked as a pharmacist, owning and operating Harris Drug Store. In 1983, she decided to open a gift store called the Corner Shop, which continues today as a popular shopping spot for locals and tourists. She took great pleasure in baking for family and friends and she loved keeping lots of beautiful flowers in her yard. Family gatherings brought her countless hours of joy throughout the years. She was a devout Catholic and also served her community as a volunteer EMT and on a variety of boards and committees.
